Hello
One of my accounts was banned after review, the email stated:

"After reviewing your account, it has come to our attention that your Google AdWords accounts do not comply with our Terms and Conditions. As a result, your account, and any related accounts you may have created, have been suspended, and your ads will no longer run on Google."

I had total of 4 accounts, 1 main old account on my name, cc and real info, which I only used for a week about a year ago and logged in several times after that.
and 3 new with fake info and coupon codes. in 2 of these i only logged in several times and didn't create any ads.
my ad was running on 3rd new account, I made a mistake(a human error) when editing an ad and entered *.net instead of *.com in display url, my ads stopped showing , I contacted support, they told me account under review, today got this email.

But, I can still login to that account and deposit money, ads showing pending review. is that normal???
How do I find out if my other accounts are also disabled??? I'm mainly worried about my main account with my real info.

thanks i advance
 


If you have a running campaign that usually gets impressions and it is getting absolutely 0 impressions, then your account is under review or banned. In other words, if you can get ANY impressions with the account then it should be active.

I think you can also email support and ask and they should be able to tell you, but they are retarded more than half the time.

How long did it take them to review your account? I have an account that has been under review for about a week now, idiots will probably ban it too.
 
This is all personal opinion:

If you accessed them from the same computer/modem/address they will most likely all be banned. Or they have banned your multiple accounts because they know they all link back to you.

Best case scenario, you will have one account left. It is not good to try to outsmart the Adwords/Adsense program. It's internet marketing suicide. Just go legit, it's much easier and less stressful I'd imagine.
 
a buddy got the same message. useless to even ask them why or what terms and conditions... he did and they wrote back "our specialists have re-reviewed your account and have determined that our decision is correct and final.".

what kind of useless response is that? good luck.
 
I was accessing from same IP but different browser for each account, I mean chrome, ie, opera, firefox so i didn't mess up cookies etc. But, the IP could be dynamic, does this mean nobody from this IP can ever use AdWors? I doubt. the only thing linking is IP. I don't think they can track mac address etc.
 
Oh they track a bunch of stuff...

MAC Address
IP address
Credit Card on File
Name
Address
URL's
 
Usually you can get away with multiple accounts on the same IP (as it can be a shared IP or HotSpot like Starbucks or an Airport). So Google will not always ban simply because of an IP.

But the same MAC address from a previously banned account and you're dead.

Just make sure next time you get everything NEW and CLEAN before setting up an account:

New Laptop
New IP Address
New Credit Card
Preferrably Name/Billing Address/Phone #
Domain/URL

Once they start banning you it's a huge pain in the arse

This. How does Google get your MAC address? If you're using the Google Adwords software, maybe ... but if you're trying to fuck Google then you probably shouldn't put their software on your PC.
 
I did install Google Adwords software once but haven't really used it, that's when they got mac address I think, there's no other way, or maybe Chrome???
I didn't really try to fuck Google, I was just testing some campaigns with free coupons.

anyways is it possible to find out if they banned my main account????
 
I can still login to banned account and deposit money, ads showing pending review. is that normal???

Is it possible to find out if they banned my main account????
 
Of the affiliates I've worked with, not one of them who try to be "dishonest" with their Google Adwords Accounts is still active and making money. It's not a good long term strategy.

If you are getting impressions it is not banned, if nothing is happening it is under review.

No but I'm sure it is extremely inconvenient to constantly set up new identities and such...why not just play by the rules? A lot of people can make a living just from Adsense/Adwords.

I call bullshit. I suggest that you are trivializing the situation and have no real concept of the necessary steps, effort required nor the gauntlet you must run in order to get a functional clean account after a ban. Not saying it isn't possible just that your reply is misleading.

No argument but the line is long with affiliates who have made an all out effort to stay within G's rules and still got banned. It is more of a question of when not if. Whether you play by the rules or not it seems to be just a matter of time before it is your turn. To add insult you may not ever know specifically what caused the ban. Makes it tough to prevent in the future if you have to guess what the offense was. Attempt to adhere to the T.O.S all you want it can still happen.

To everyone . . .
Thanks for these threads. Each one seems to add another insight that might help with successfully creating a new account. There are also existing threads on this same topic. Containing more post by guys with real experience giving really good intel. What I would give with 20 mins on the phone with a couple of them.
